Subject: Obiturary: Carl-Erik Fröberg
Carl-Erik Fröberg, Lund Sweden, passed away on October 1 2007, aged 89.
Carl-Erik Fröberg was one of the computer pioneers in Sweden. He spent a
year in Princeton 1947, learning the secrets of the digital computer
directly from John von Neumann. He went home to Lund and got the first
generation computer SMIL operating in 1956. It was one of several
machines built on the design of the von Neumann Princeton computer.
He started the first Swedish University program in Numerical Analysis in
Lund. He wrote several books on numerical analysis and computer
programming, Algol, Cobol and APL. He took the initiative to the journal
BIT, and was its managing editor from the first issue 1961 all the way
to 1992, when the editorship was handed over to Åke Björck.

Subject: Submission date extended - Add and Mult.Operator Splitting Special Issue
Please note: Submission date time is extended for the Special Issue: Additive
and Multiplicative Operator Splitting- International Journal of Computational
Science (IJCS) http://www.gip.hk/ijcs/
Due to several requests, the last date for the submission of the manuscripts

Special Issue: Additive and Multiplicative Operator Splitting
Guest Editor: Daoud S Daoud
Introduction: Several time stepping methods have been introduced to
approximate the two or three dimensional parabolic equations (linear
or non linear) by the finite difference method, finite element or
other approximation methods. These time stepping methods treat the
space variables individually such as Alternating Direction Implicit
method. The concepts have been developed to present the fundamentals
of the Locally One Dimensional (LOD) or Fractional Splitting (FS)
methods.
The classical FS methods reduce and simplify the computing of multi
dimensional problem into fractional time steps according to each
spatial variable. So far, the studies have been motivated on improving
the accuracy and modifying the algorithm for better performance to
solve Multi Dimensional Time Dependent problems and to provide
parallelism for the solution with respect to each spatial variable
called Multiplicative Operator Splitting Method.
The most recent the trend in this area is to set up the Splitting
algorithm in order to Incorporate with the current development in the
Parallel Computation, this class of Splitting is named as Additive
Operator Splitting Methods. This trend has received great attention to
simplify the solution of engineering model problems such as, Maxwells
Equation, Fluid flow, Image Processing etc. In specific applications
the operator splitting increased the range of stability and in other
applications provides unconditional stable algorithms which enhanced
the advantages in addition to the simplicity of the algorithm for
solving multi dimensional problems. Also, the Operator splitting has
also been considered for solving linear or non linear algebraic linear
systems generated from multi dimensional problems. The algorithms are
also designed effectively to meet with the recent parallel
computational approaches. It is implicit with the subject of the
special issue that contributions should address the combination and
application of different Splitting Algorithms and concepts to solve
different problems of engineering applications. In contrast to
standard research in computational mathematics, also negative results
- e.g., a splitting shows reductions in the stability range, poor
performance for the solution of large sparse linear systems generated
from discretizations methods - are of considerable importance as well.
In summary, with this special issue we aim at high quality articles
from different areas related to Operator Splitting with Engineering
Application justified by Computational Results that give good examples
for carefully designed, well implemented and well analyzed splitting
algorithms for time dependent problems or solving algebraic linear
systems.
PAPER SUBMISSION: Researchers are invited to submit papers that make a
significant contribution to the field and that are ideally be between
10 and 20 pages long to daouddaoud@gmail.com. Please use the subject

Subject: Post-doc position in bio-mathematics at IMFT, Toulouse, France
POST-DOC POSITION IN BIO-MATHEMATICS
The Institute of Fluid mechanics is a mixed CNRS unity (joining two
scientific University in Toulouse) of research excellence in the area
of Fluid Mechanics, porous media and applyed mathematics : www.imft.fr
Positions would start on or after January 1st, 2008.
Deadline : November the 17th, 2007.
This offer is reserved to non-French, less than 35 years old people.
CONTEXT: Micro-vascularisation is a fundamental topic in various
physiological contexts because it plays a major role in the metabolic
supply, growth and development of tissues. This is true for normal
tissues but also in pathological context, especially for tumor for
which it is now widely admitted that vascular switch is the key step
in cancer malignity. Nevertheless, a quantitative understanding of
the relationship between the complex 3D micro-vascular structure and
metabolic supply at the cell scale is very far from present knowledge.
A key step toward this goal is the possibility of a quantitative
estimate of 3D micro-vascular structures in tissues recently performed
in our team. The understanding of the coupling between metabolic blood
supply, transport and consumption in tissues is nevertheless an
ambitious issue in such complicated network. The purpose of this
post-doc is to progress in two directions on the bio-mathematical
tools that have to be settled for addressing those problems.
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this post-doc position is first to develop a
mixed formulation finite element code for handling 2D complex
configuration of coupled transport in tube bundles. This code could
be used to analyze the complete transport problems and systematically
investigate the influence of parameters such as the ratio of tube
diameters to tube spacing, porosity, the Péclet number, etc.. This
first investigation could be compared with asymptotic limit of small
and large Péclet number, small porosity. Furthermore, this tool could
be used for the derivation of compartmental models. In a second step
the project is to develop a 3D code for non-translationally invariant
configurations. Our aim is to develop a domain decomposition technique
using a boundary integral method to avoid meshing the 3D tissue
compartment.
Additional benefits of the position include travel opportunities,
access to state-of-the-art micro-vascular data bases, high-performance
workstations, and access to real-life applications through fruitful
collaborations in a very active research program.
REQUIRED SKILLS
- Experience in mathematical, computational, and theoretical modeling.
- Scientific computing : Finite element, boundary elements, domain
decomposition
- Experience working effectively in a team effort.
- Excellent written skills as demonstrated by publication record.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate and communicate with researchers
